Jethro Tull - Aqualung 200 gram Classic Records Audiophile Quiex SV-P OOP

Classic Records 2007 audiophile reissue on QUIEX SV-P 200 gram vinyl. Long out of print and hard to find these days.  Classic Records and Chris Bellman did an outstanding job with this pressing, really nice.  Bought new and stored upright in a 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeve in a smoke-free environment.  Played only 2-3 times for digital archiving.

• VG+ cover is clean with no markings, still in Classic Records outer sleeve.  Spine and edges are strong, but there are the early beginnings of a seam split at top middle edge (photo).  No split yet, but very close.  Corners are strong and sharp with a ding in the back top left corner (photo) and slight wear in the front top left corner (photo).  There is a slight curling at the sleeve opening (photo) but this has no effect to the vinyl itself, still flat as a pancake.  This is still a really nice cover, but the early makings of a seam split and the slight curling at the opening drop the grading.

• NM insert is clean with no markings, tears or creases.  Corners are strong and sharp with no wear.  Very nice.

• EX 200 gram vinyl has one long scuff mark on side 1.  This is a surface scuff only, but I still play-tested with headphones to make sure and heard no audio imperfections.  Great sounding pressing.  Side 2 has no visible marks or scuffs.  The side 1 scuff drops the visual grading, but this is still a really nice copy.

I am a lifelong vinyl collector (49 years old) and just starting to sell off my very large collection.  Much tender loving care has gone into this collection.  I have digitally archived all my albums.  These are what I listen to, so most of my LPs bought new have had very few spins.  All have been stored upright in 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeves in a smoke-free environment.  Many more rare and hard to find collectibles to be listed.  Stay tuned!

Grading is visual only and conservative (using Ebay categories):
Mint (I almost never use this grade unless it's sealed) means perfect Near Mint means just shy of perfect Excellent means light wear, or a couple light marks Very Good Plus means more significant wear but nothing serious, or more than a couple light marks and/or a few hairlines Very Good has more serious wear but it's definitely not garbage, has marks and hairlines
